title: [Diagnosis and antimicrobial therapy of pneumonia caused by continuous mechanical ventilation after cardiosurgery].
abstract: The paper gives an update on the incidence and etiological structure of mechanical ventilation (MV)-associated pneumonias. The specific features of their pathogenesis are considered; clinical and laboratory diagnostic methods are reviewed. It is shown that it is necessary to make a microbiological monitoring. An algorithm is proposed to choose the tactics of antimicrobial treatment for MV-associated pneumonia; recommendations for the rational choice of antibiotics are given.
